  Kitchen Fan Control Center (KFCC)

  Greenheck's Kitchen Fan Control Center, Model KFCC, is designed to control the exhaust fans, supply fans, and lights for the kitchen ventilation system. The KFCC is interlocked with the fire suppression system. It signals the make-up air unit to shut down upon activation of the fire suppression system. The panel will also activate the kitchen exhaust fan(s) if they are off. The panel has two sets of dry contacts that can be used to signal a shunt trip breaker (supplied by others) or an electric gas valve (supplied by others) for appliance and outlet shutdown. A spare set of contacts is provided for connection to the building fire alarm. Greenheck's KFCC is UL listed and available in single phase or three phase configurations. The enclosure is 18 gauge 304 stainless steel and available in various sizes with three mounting options.

  For a traditional system using a KFCC to start exhaust fans, lights, and make-up air the following diagrams illustrate the necessary electrical connections from the main power breakers to all individual components.

  
  

• Variable Volume

  Greenheck offers a variable volume ventilation system that tracks the cooking load and varies the exhaust and supply ventilation based on need. Since the cooking load varies throughout the day, your exhaust system doesn’t need to run at the maximum CFM all day. Greenheck understands that by varying the speed of the fans based on the cooking load, you will save money from reduced power and tempering costs.
  

  
  Standard Construction Features:
  
  • The variable volume kitchen ventilation system utilizes microprocessor controls and operates solely on demand
    
  • The system monitors the cooking operation and adjusts the exhaust, supply and rooftop unit fans so when the cooking load is reduced, the fans operate at a reduced level and save energy, especially heating and cooling
    
  • Meets IMC code 507.2.1.1 requirement to start fans when cooking operations occur
  
  
  Payback:
  
  • Typical payback of 1 to 3 years
    
  • Save an estimated $2 or more per cfm/year from the reduction of design CFM
    
  • Improved efficiency by reducing fan speed
    
  
  
  Additional Benefits:
  
  • Ventilation equipment life is extended by soft-starting, therefore reducing stress on belts and bearings
    
  • Reduced sound levels to improve employee comfort
    
  • Remote Control System for 3-phase, control sensor temperature and optics, advanced variable volume, and variable volume payback analysis.

  Temperature Interlock

  Greenheck's temperature interlock is designed and installed to automatically activate the exhaust fan, if not manually started, whenever cooking operations occur. The activation of the exhaust fan shall occur through a temperature probe that detects an increased temperature and activates the fans. Greenheck offers a stand-alone package as well as an option in our fan control center (KFCC).

• Relay Box

  
  Greenheck's relay box is compact, prewired and offers a low cost method of starting one or two fan motors. The relay box can be used in place of larger, more expensive starters when supply and exhaust must operate from one switch.
  

  
  Standard construction features
  
  • Prewired from factory
    
  • Wiring diagram included in control box
    
  • Interface to shut off supply fan in fire mode is included
    
  • Painted 8 X 8 X 4 UL box - NEMA-3R
  
  
  Requirements
  
  • All motors must have thermal overloads
    
  • 2 fans maximum, both operating from one switch (More than 2 fans use KFCC without thermal overloads)
    
  • Each fan must have it’s own power source
